Artificial recharge to groundwater is steadily assuming importance in the wake of the decline in water level in several parts of the country. Recharge through an injection well is the most suitable option of artificial recharge for semi-confined and confined aquifers, especially in urban and industrial areas as it requires little space. Recharging capacity of a well is an important criterion in deciding the number of recharge structures required for large-scale planning of artificial recharge. The present work focuses on determining the recharging capacity of a well in a semi-confined alluvial aquifer in the middle Ganga Plain, wherein it has been found that the actual recharging capacity is lesser than the product of the well-specific capacity and available pressure head.Keywords
